Same. Zig's niche is in the vein of languages that encourages using pointers for business logic. If you like this style, Rust and most other new languages aren't an option.


This confuses me. In zig null pointers are illegal, and I have yet to run into any case that should be addressed by using pointer arithmetic, that's all taken care of with slices.


Seems like it's just a comment written by someone with little to no experience using zig.
